Joe Germanotta says he can't understand Kamala Harris' 'opportunity economy' 

Joe Germanotta, while praising Donald Trump, said, “One is pure, and he’s a patriot. The other is just going to say whatever she needs to say to get elected. That's basically what I hear, and I'm tired of hearing about her neighbors' lawn."

Admitting that the former president is “abrasive,” he stressed on how his business flourished under the previous administration.

"Six years ago, I was going to have the best year we ever had at Joanne before Covid-19. And when I say best year, it was 25% more than any other year," Germanotta shared.

Explaining why he’s not going for Kamala Harris, Germanotta said that he can't understand what she's talking about when it comes to the economy, pointing out her term "opportunity economy."

Joe Germanotta says 'legal immigration' has ceased

Joe Germanotta, who owns Joanne Trattoria restaurant on the Upper West Side, NYC, slammed the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies. "It's an invasion as far as I see it. We don't have secure borders anymore. There's no more legal immigration. My clientele, my customers, the ones that used to come once a week, now they come once every three weeks. They're not coming to New York City," he said.

He concluded with, "I endorse Donald Trump. I endorse his policies.”

Interestingly, Lady Gaga had endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential elections.
